Why would they check for piracy when it’s not them you’re pirating from and stopping piracy would remove the most popular use case of their product?

No you don’t. I’ve shared with people and I’ve never had a pass.

No shade or anything but how does that work in a single player pretty linear game, what’s the draw after you finish it a few times?

This was shitty, but the giants are worse than the smaller companies. Roku works fine and ad-free if you block the ad/tracking domains. Try separating the ads/tracking from the stuff you need on a Google device.
